Sadly, researchers in my field hardly know anything about how 3D artists actually work.
I hope to change that, and make future R&D more oriented towards your real-world needs.

Therefore I started a survey, and would like to ask all those experienced in 3D art to participate:http://survey.makx.org

This is an academic research effort and not exploited commercially.
I hope to publish the results at an international conference
and thus help to make better user interfaces in the future.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The research relates to the professional use of 3D software,
so it will ask you whether you work in "media production".
This of course includes freelancers and independent artists, but not mere hobbyists.
I'm very sorry, but the requirements are just too different.
Please decide for yourself whether you can speak from a professional point of view.
Thank you very much for your understanding.
